Pull finishing drawer out and put your hand in the evapo-
ration chamber (NOT in the liquid). If there is no warmth
rising from the floor of the unit, your heating system is
not working. It is most commonly the thermostat that has
failed. If you notice a lack of evaporation, but there is
still warmth in the heating chamber, see “Liquid Build up”
for solutions.
Have your serial number ready and call SUN-MAR for a
replacement. (Detailed instructions are included with the
replacement part)
If the insulation behind the thermostat access cover is
moist or discolored, or heating does not work after the
new thermostat has been connected, then the heating
element has failed.

replacement. (Detailed instructions are included with the
replacement part)
Check fuse located on the electric box to ensure that it is
functioning correctly. If the wire in the fuse is chared or

on the bottom of the patented Bio-drum, to the left of
the drawer opening. Scrub drum screen with a wire
brush.
Drill out set screw and replace, or have your serial num-
ber ready and call SUN-MAR for a handle replacement kit
(instructions included).

Evaporation will slow during damp
weather, make sure drain hose is
installed.
A ground fault interrupter circuit
is recommended to protect your
CENTREX 2000 from power
surges that could cause your
heating system to malfunction.
Your thermostat and fan are the
two constantly moving parts on
the unit, and so are the most
likely to fail. Both are easy to
replace.
If you ever remove the unit from
the bathroom for cleaning, DO
NOT use a water hose around the
base of the unit.
Power surges can cause the fuse
to blow. If this is a possibility in
your area, a serge protector is
recommended.
Drum should never be more than
1/2 full.
